Aluminum Vs. Fiberglass Poles – The Verdict: Which is Better?

      The decision of which material to go for depends on a number of factors including your budget and duration of use. So if you’re a frequent camper, travels often or simply plan to use the tent for a while, then you would be best served with aluminum poles.

On the other side of the spectrum, the main reason you would consider buying a tent with fiberglass poles is to save money or if you’re operating on a shoestring budget. A casual tailgate camper would thus find a fiberglass tent more fitting if he plans to use the tent once or twice a year.

► Aluminum tent poles

       Aluminum is used mainly in those expensive and lightweight backpacking tents. This is because of the great strength/weight ratio. But there are many dome style car camping tents here in the site with such poles, and you will notice that they are typically far more expensive than those with fiberglass poles.

      Even very large family camping tents nowadays come with such poles, but in such cases you have the high-quality technology developed for large spans. The advantage when you compare them with fiberglass is that they provide the same tensile strength with tubes that are both with a smaller diameter and with thinner walls, and this means lighter.

      Aluminum poles will retain their features like flexibility even in cold temperatures and this is not so with fiberglass. But these two materials are the most common in all tents currently on the market. Aluminum can corrode so manufacturers use some methods like anodizing to protect them from corrosion.

     They are lightweight but strong.

     They bend but not break so easily. But even the best aluminum poles will bend at winds of 80 mph or so, yet this is something you can repair in the field.

► What is less good:

     They are usually expensive. But there are some really great examples here in the site of very affordable tents with such poles.

     They corrode and should not be used for camping close to the sea. But if you do so, rinse them with fresh water before storing at home. Make sure also to store them dry.

► Aluminum alloys

      Most of the aluminum poles tents here in the site are with 7000 series aluminum. This implies that you have some aluminum as the main material and some other metals added to improve their performance. So the strength is improved, corrosion resistance, etc.

Pros and Cons of Aluminum Tent Poles

       Aluminum poles are widely considered the pioneer workhorses of the tent-making industry. And their widespread use all many parts of the globe is not accidental either. Typically, the tent poles act as the framework that supports the entire structure (the tent and its accompanying canvas) and its only imperative that it is made up of superior strength material. Aluminum poles fit this bill rather perfectly.

Speaking of which, let’s shed some crucial light on some of the pros and cons of investing in aluminum tent poles.

♦ Pros of Aluminum Tent Poles

       Aluminum poles are relatively lightweight.Unlike wood or some types of thermosetting plastic poles, aluminum is a fairly light material. As a result, poles made from aluminum are lighter than wooden, fiberglass, or pure steel poles. Convenient – especially if you’re always on the move or run a remote camping business.

       Despite their lightweight nature, aluminum poles are very strong.A majority of aluminum poles will hold fairly well against any overbearing stress caused by overburdening the tent – heavy winds and snow or operator error. But that doesn’t that mean that they can support an infinite weight.Unlike fiberglass or carbon poles, aluminum poles will likely only bend and not break if overloaded beyond their safety limits. Now remember that a bent tent pole can be repaired easily – something that frequent backpackers can appreciate.Still, on strength, it is easier to double up aluminum poles by adjoining them together to increase their elastic limits unlike other types of poles.

♦ Cons of Aluminum Tent Poles

       Aluminum tent poles are expensive. It’s no secret that aluminum tent poles are fairly expensive than wood or plastic poles. And this comes from the fact that it costs several times more to produce aluminum roles than fiberglass poles.

       Aluminum corrodes easily.Under the ‘right’ prevailing conditions, aluminum poles erode and degrade badly especially in saline environments. This kind of corrosion makes the tent pole weaker thus rendering them almost useless for propping up a tent. The corrosion can also stain your tent.Note that some simple maintenance and care can do a lot to prevent or minimize corrosion or rusting. If you are adjacent to an ocean or other highly salty body of water, rinse off your poles when you get home with fresh water. Another thing that you should do is make sure your poles are dry before you store them away after you get back from a camping/hiking trip. Putting your tent poles in a bag while they are still wet is just asking for corrosion.
